The uniform

This little number has become part of me and my life. These have become staples, marks of my personality and reminders of where and what I’ve been through in my life. All of these pieces are around two years old. The shirt and the pants were a gift from my sister, while I was living with her in Scotland studying English. And the shoes were gifted by my mother upon my return home. I have worn them non-stop ever since.

Besides reminding me constantly of this time period over in Scotland, they bring back so many more memories. I have taken them everywhere with me: Porto, Lisbon, Paris, England and now United States of America. All experiences that contributed into changing, molding and developing my personality and so I feel like they represent those changes. As I got to spend so much time alone while in Scotland I realized how much I love the polka-dot print and wearing the colours navy, red and white. That shirt is my favourite: the fabric and fit is super comfortable, the print and colours are simply perfect. A shirt for me has the best balance and is always a go-to grab-and-go piece: it is comfortable, but chic; sexy but still put together; easy to style, but full of personality (especially when printed like this one is). And so I feel like it marks the start of a lifelong love for ‘quirky’ shirts/blouses.

The white trousers came with the shirt, actually. I was originally looking for some white jeans, since I realized they would match with everything, but found these trousers instead and loved the fit. I wear them for every occasion, season, style. And those also begun a love for capri trousers. I find them extremely chic and comfortable, especially when they have pockets.

After I graduated from Glasgow’s School of English, I returned home to my very missed friends and family a changed woman. So I needed new shoes to go with that! Haha I had had a lot of time to figure out what style I most identified with, so finding these sweethearts wasn’t hard. They go with absolutely everything, giving it a touch of chicness, and are so comfortable. I walked them all the way through Ponta Delgada, Porto, then Lisbon, then England and Paris! Now they came with me all the way to Cambridge, USA, where they eventually broke. I was wearing them almost every single day. Finding an honorable replacement will be hard, since I don’t want to part from them. I am seriously considering keeping them as décor or a very dear memoir.
